-'90 Supra stock turbo. Guys I bought my car a few months ago n it's completely stock. Being that it's a stock (and old) turbo I was reminnessing on getting a turbo cause I seem to forget to idle for a couple mins before shutting it down. Is ut a good way to start off putting aftermarket parts on it?? Truth!!
Turbo Timer?!

Well a full introduction of the car would be nice. Pics would be spectacular but... whatever.
Turbo timers or idling a while before shutting down is really reserved for hard hard driving. Now most of us do some hard driving but spend a few minutes, if not more, completely off boost driving through traffic to our driveways or destinations. That really is more than ample to cool down a turbo.
If, However, you are at the track and have been pulling hard and spooling hard, then in an instant, are stopped in the pit or are done your heat, It's a good idea to let it idle a few minutes.
Edited to add: Aftermarket parts like what exactly? I would, since you just got it, enjoy it. Feel out how ridiculously floppy the rear end is with stock power. Master the rear end with stock boost.... then add power.

Not really an introduction thread. This is a technical question. Please read this:
